FAQs
Carbon Black is widely used as a reinforcing filler in rubber compounds where it improves tensile strength, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and durability. This makes it a key raw material in tyre treads, conveyor belts, engine mounts, and solid tyres. It is also used in plastics as a colourant and UV stabiliser, in coatings and inks as a black pigment, and in metallurgy as a carburiser or reducing agent. Certain grades are also selected for conductivity and specialist technical applications.
The price of Carbon Black depends on factors such as order volume, required grade, packaging format, shipping destination, and market availability.

Carbon Black is not generally classified as hazardous for toxicological or ecotoxicological endpoints, but there are important handling considerations that should be managed carefully. Key hazards include:
Combustible Dust Risk
Fine airborne dust may form an explosible dust-air mixture if dispersed near an ignition source.Respiratory Exposure
Excessive dust concentrations may cause temporary upper respiratory discomfort, coughing, or wheezing.Mechanical Eye Irritation
Dust particles may cause temporary irritation if they enter the eyes.Skin Drying / Soiling
Repeated prolonged contact may dry the skin or cause soiling, though it is not classed as a chemical skin irritant.Fire Conditions
Burning or smouldering material may generate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other decomposition products.
Good housekeeping, dust extraction, ignition source control, and suitable PPE are recommended during handling and storage.
